Got the PC upgrade I got for Christmas put together finally. Holy smokes, Play Anywhere titles are going to be my new favorites. Already got in some quick games of Forza Horizon 4 and Gears 5 and they look great.

I’m looking forward to moving back and forth between the PC and Xbox to make progress.
Wait, don't you mean to death to Microsoft for spitting in the face of Xbox buyers who no longer have "exclusives"?!?!

Durp
 
Thanks as always to Bloomy for the deals posts, and thanks to Pat for another awesome giveaway.

Think I’m gonna jump on Shinobi for only $2.50 - still have the cart for my Sega Master System, but why bother hooking up another system when I can just play nearly everything I want on my Xbone? Game is hard and annoying and I’m sure I’ll put it down quickly and only go back for the occasional nostalgia kick, but at that price, why not? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

 
My final haul from the countdown sale, I decided to burn through my Bing points and start the new year fresh:

Puyo Puyo Champions

Mad Max

Voodoo Vince Remastered

Battlefield V

SoulCalibur VI Deluxe Edition

Injustice 2 - Legendary Edition

Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 Season Pass (I bought the base game during the December Lego game sale)

Paw Patrol: On a Roll

Lego DC Super-Villains Deluxe Edition

Currently playing Pokemon Shield. I got the first 3 gym badges and just got to the city that has the 4th gym. I went with the water starter (Sobble) and am noticing that this Pokemon game is a lot easier then past ones (since your entire team gets XP when you defeat another trainer or a wild pokemon) but that's okay given my backlog, I am okay if I get through the gyms quicker then usual, it will still take me a long time to catch all 400 Pokemon in the game.

Now I'm on my way to see Star Wars Episode 9 with my kids this morning. Happy new year to all you cheap asses.

My friend's want to hang out tonight, which is good and nice, but in the back of my head I'm thinking "Rather be home playing Titanfall 2 and Yakuza 0."

Also tallying up my game spending and I'm realizing I got at least 47 games this month alone, which is slightly horrifying.

Surprise trade as much as you can. Filled out a lot of the dex that way.
 
What mons are trading in the surprise trade though? I think I'd feel lousy handing out any old garbage and expecting something good in return.
 
It’s a crapshoot but if all you have is shield, getting a crap sword exclusive helps...
Christmas Eve/Day there was a ton of surprise trades of 5-6IV level 1’s (I got a 6IV Eiscue, and a bunch of breed reject 5IV Pokémon) and a bunch of 4-5IV foreign Dittos.
You get a lot of the 3 starters, Dreepy, Ralts, etc. but it’s worth it if you only have the one copy. I assume Home will have specific trades.. but who knows when that will drop.
 
Well folks, gonna get my Happy New Year's in now, as surgery is in a couple. Enjoy!
Good luck bud! Let us know how ya make out

It's a lot easier than I remembered it being as a kid. Feels good to complete the achievements too

 
Happy New Year's Eve, everyone!  This decade felt way more rough then the last, but I'm pretty sure that's to be expected moving forward and getting older. 

My game haul was minimal this year due to the year-long job hunt but I'm thankful it's given me an opportunity to appreciate and tackle my backlog.  Debating on grabbing AC: Origins with my Amazon credit but 'The Witcher III' has been staring at me for a few years now. I also started 'Death Stranding' and my wife wants to know why there's a baby crying in the house.

My city (Pasadena) becomes ridiculous this time of the year (Rose Bowl Parade), so I'm looking forward to a low-key night with the SO & pup, and playing games for the next 48 hours.

Stay safe but go crazy, you cheapasses

 
AC Origins and Witcher 3 are both games I clocked in 100 plus hours and loved it all, don't think you can really go wrong

The MS Rewards reddit is full of people posting about achievements not tracking for punch cards and the 50 point daily achievement so sounding like it's pretty wide spread. For what it's worth I haven't had any issues and in the Insider Beta Dashboard ring. I've been getting the 50 point daily and last night did the Rage 2 punch card and got the PC Punch card done by playing Steamworld Dig 2 on my Xbox One.

 
For those Game Pass users and LEGO game lovers I really recommend the Ninjago Movie game. The LEGO games have become pretty standard but I liked the changes they made to the formula for this game. Also I was not really familiar with the Ninjago brand but I liked the characters and the humor.
 
Happy New Year everyone!

I'm kind of sad that Xbox isn't doing a year in review this year.  But maybe it's better if I don't know how many hours I've sunk into games.  :)

Restarting my Xbox One X seems to check mark the 50 points card for achievements, if it doesn't redeem it the first time that I click on it after an achievement. Hopefully Microsoft will patch it soon. Also, speaking of patches, is there a way to manually update games like on the PS4, or does the Xbox One do it all automatically? Because, I have noticed games that I have on my PS4 getting patches that the Xbox One game pass versions don't seem to be getting. Almost everytime that I turn on my PS4 it has a patch for something, and my Xbox never seems to have patches for anything, besides that first long patch when I turned it on the first time almost a month ago.
 
Happy New Year everyone!

I'm kind of sad that Xbox isn't doing a year in review this year. But maybe it's better if I don't know how many hours I've sunk into games. :)
I’m a little bummed they aren’t doing it this year too though I’m not sure if the tracking last year was very accurate. I liked it regardless.

Hope you all have a good one!

For those Game Pass users and LEGO game lovers I really recommend the Ninjago Movie game. The LEGO games have become pretty standard but I liked the changes they made to the formula for this game. Also I was not really familiar with the Ninjago brand but I liked the characters and the humor.
The movie's pretty good too.
 
Like a lot of people achievements did not track for me for the weekly punch card or the Gears 5 punch card. I sent a message to support and followed that with some photos as proof of achievements. They say they are looking into it, hope they can fix it.

I noticed when playing Gears 5 the loading was really slow for me. This happening for anyone else, only looks to be Gears 5 that is slow for me.

 
Good luck bud! Let us know how ya make out

It's a lot easier than I remembered it being as a kid. Feels good to complete the achievements too
You know, it felt a little easier at first, but the boss deaths are super cheap! I do like that you can play with the difficulty. Also, this is clearly the arcade version, hence the 1-hit deaths and continues and such, and not the Master System version I was expecting (though doesn’t seem that different). I just don’t remember if the MS version had 1-hit deaths as well, or if you had a health bar of sorts. Oh well, either way I’m happy with the purchase at that price.

 
Yeah 2020 will be a wild ride for me, in 8 weeks my son will enter the world! I hope to be able to work on my backlog too, but at least I can die knowing I have an heir to carry on my backlog when I’m gone. Poor kid doesn’t know what he’s in for.

Aye, here's to our man Bloomy!!! Thank you for all you do in this thread and may more deals(especially 360 ones that haven't been on sale before)occur in our near future.

I keep forgetting to purchase Little Nightmares complete edition. It was $4.49 the other day down from $30. Someday I'll get it and add to the backlog.....

Edit: double XP in Gears 5 thru tomorrow

Hope everyone had a good new years eve or has one if you're in the few places still in 2019.

I messed up my gamestop deal of the day $250 X1X and didn't get the free white controller. Hopefully I can convince them to still give me one but I don't have high hopes. I saw people saying they had the console order cancelled but they still got the free controller and just paid around $6 for shipping.
 
Happy new year's everyone.

Looking for some help/clarification on buying games through the microsoft store website.
TL;DR - are the descriptions under "available on" and "installation" on game pages accurate?

Resident evil 7 (pc version which was cheaper at some point) is play anywhere and says you can install on xbox one. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/resident-evil-7-biohazard/bvfdtj1xf6cs?activetab=pivot:eek:verviewtab


Children of Morta says it is a play anywhere title, but it says install on xbox or pc. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/children-of-morta/9p675wh90sb4?activetab=pivot:eek:verviewtab

Streets of Rogue says you can install it on your xbox only and its not play anywhere.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/streets-of-rogue/9mzvthhjkd3g?activetab=pivot:eek:verviewta

The Stranger Sins dlc for Graveyard Keeper (which started my confusion) says it is available on xbox but install on pc but there is no mention of play anywhere and the main game page does not mention pc.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/stranger-sins/9mztbr9xwslq?activetab=pivot:eek:verviewtab

I'm just trying to be a cheap ass and if I need to save money and get Stranger Sins and Graveyard Keeper with Steam, I will. But if I can get it to play on xbox and pc through the microsoft store, I will go that route.

Thanks for any help. (And sorry for the long links)

At least for Resident Evil 7, it installs on both if you buy the PC/XB1 version. That’s how a lot of us got it for $5 in July and a few weeks ago.
 
Well now I’ve got a clean slate and haven’t bought any games yet this year. I think my first achievement of 2020 is going to be on Paw Patrol because my 3 year old is currently playing it on my account.
